Bees are some of the most significant creatures being affected by this neonicotinoid pesticide. Bees are extremely vital to our planets pollination cycles and we would really be in trouble if neonicotinoids were one of the reasons they are being wiped out (Decourtye, 2010). The use of pesticides has started to show a devastating effect on the bee population. The pesticides are being sprayed onto crops and they are being carried or transferred by the bees who end up ingesting them without realizing it (Decourtye, 2015). These neonicotinoid pesticides are able to last longer on plants or food than they normally …show more content…
In similar ways that neonicotinoid affects the central nervous system of bees, it also does similar harm to a human’s brain (Kuroda, 2012). The pesticide affects the neurons in the brain and slows down a human brains development (Kuroda, 2012). This is most dangerous in children because their brains are still developing (Kuroda, 2012). Through several studies done on rats, neonicotinoids have been known to induce the release of dopamine in the system (Kuroda, 2012). It affects mammals just like it affected bees. The nicotine found in the neonicotinoid have these negative effects. The nicotine effects the function of the brain and nervous system in humans like it does with the bees and aquatic invertebrates (Kuroda,
